On Assignment

I am here for Networking

About Me

I enjoy reading, writing and teaching.I am a recently retired Bible College instructor (Black Church History and Thesis/Dissertation Preparation).My passion for teaching continues into my 19th year of Youth Ministry. I am also Co-chair of the Faith Based Arts Conference and Co-coordinator for the AA portion of the Romantic Times Convention.I am excited about the publication of my debut novel, Business Unsusal. It is the first in the 'Covenant Series'. In this series you will meet people you can identify with. People who love God, are struggling with their walk with God and/or are yet to accept the love God is offering.Works from On Assignment are written to inspire and entertain as well as educate the reader regarding faith and our responsibility to live a lifestyle that reaches beyond our comfort zone to help others. The characters are not perfect. Like us they stumble along the way.I am also working on a few projects independent of the Covenant Series.My heart's desire is to see all solidly walking in their potential. Each day I am driven by this thought: There Is No Such Thing As An Acceptable Loss In God's Kingdom!To learn more about our books: www.lindabeed.com On Assignment Reviews can be found at: lindabeed.blogspot.com

Accolades For Business Unusual -- DR. BEED turns the emotional screws while offering the hope of an eternal prospective. Her debut novel, Business Unusual is engrossing and one hopes fervently for a sequel”. Jacquelin Thomas, National bestselling author of The Prodigal Husband and Defining MomentsAS YOU JOURNEY through the pages of this story you will find that there is something for everybody. Be you a babe in Christ or have been walking with God for years, there is godly counsel written here. To be a witness of this story for those not yet married, as well as to those who have joined in covenant with a mate, has been an experience that I will not soon forget. The writings of Dr. Linda Beed give us reference on how to apply the Word to our daily lives. I can hardly wait for the next book to come from this mighty woman of God, for I feel that whatever it is, the Word of God shall go forth from its pages. Tanya Knight -- Reader“YOUR NOVEL JUST defined for me ‘Christian Fiction’ in its purest form”.Idrissa Uqdah -- Reviewer African American Literary Book Club“THERE WERE TIMES when I was not reading a novel, but receiving teaching from the Holy Spirit.” Pastor Bernard Boulton -- Reader/Reviewer“THERE IS NO way I can possibly share in this review the wealth of God’s love in the pages of this book, neither the blessing it was for me to read it. The characters are so very vividly written that you can see them and feel what they are going through. I am in awe of how Author Beed was able to infuse the lives of the families and friends of Bernadette Lewis and Hayes Davis without confusing the story line and yet it creates an informational background the story needs in order to be told. I am anxiously awaiting the sequel of this story that was written by an anointed Woman of God.” Sharel Gordon-Love -- Reviewer/APOOO Book Club

Books:

Aside from the Bible, my all time favorite is I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings. Some of my favorte authors include: Maurice Gray, Jacquelin Thomas, Pat G'Orge Walker, Rosalind Stormer, Tia McCollors, Stacy Hawkins-Adams, Kendra Norman-Bellamy, Bertice Berry, Bernice McFadden, Gloria Naylor, Jeffrey Archer, Taylor Branch, Tavis Smiley.
